The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Philippians 4:8

 

C. S. Lewis is a towering figure among Christian writers of the last 100 years. Lewis scholars continue to comb his writings to glean insights into the human experience with God.

And now the first of the Chronicles—The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe—has become a movie. This lesson will open the door into the worlds of Lewis and Narnia for you, your family, and your friends.
